SVIPLA is pleased to be a sponsor for the Stanford Law School's reception and program featuring Andrew Byrnes, U.S. Patent & Trademark Office Chief of Staff. At his one year anniversary Andrew returns home to the Bay Area to share his insights about the technology revolution, the role of intellectual property, related Administration policies, and how each of us can take a "seat at the table" and make an impact. He will reflect on his transition to the public sector following sixteen years in private law practice in Silicon Valley, and on his work at the intersection of technology, law and politics.
